Boost cart

Showing the item transport and mesecons support. Power and brake rails must only be enabled by a mesecons signal if that mod is enabled.

Features:

Faster and less CPU intensive

Configurable maximal cart speed

Pathfinder for automatic position correction

Switch the direction on crossings (by pressing the movement keys)

Fully backwards compatible with the original carts mod by PilzAdam

Copper rails (gives copper an use) - moreblocks equivalent

Drop items inside the cart and punch it to transport them

Different rail type support

Handbrake with the 'down' key

News - MTG carts:Since version 0.4.15 there are now carts in the official subgame minetest_game. That version of carts is based on boost_cart but does not support mesecons. You can still use boost_cart as before, it will simply overwrite the other mod.

Great mod. Would be nice if you can press a direction key and the mod applies it to the next junction. So you don't miss a junction when you travel with great speed. A window of 2-3 seconds should be good, after 3sec the keypress should expire, so you don't take the wrong turn.

The carts now only run on the type of rails it got placed on.You can define more rails and change the group connect_to_raillike to 2 to separate them from the other rails.The current master branch doen't display those correctly.

Have this mod on my family server tho i've not used it personally yet. My son placed a cart high up in one of his buildings! Dont ask me why, given up trying to understand 7 year olds lol. However, now he cant seem to remove it, any ideas?

I made a small steering modification for this mod.When riding inside a cart pressing up will accelerate the cart - similar to how one steers in the boat mod.My son likes this better then the frantic punching ;)
